LÁTÓ



Látó



     Látó is a Targu Mures-Marosvásárhely, Transylvania based literary monthly. The editorial staff (Gálfalvi György, Kovács András Ferenc, Láng Zsolt, Vida Gábor) aims to make a review of contemporary Hungarian literature in Transylvania and in the same time present the literature of other regions, countries, worlds.

     Classics of Hungarian and world literature are also present in the review with their original works and in translations, essays, critical studies and various documents.
     Every year, thematic issues draw new authors into the review's literary workshop. Each of these issues deals with a certain topic like dreams, books, the city, the prison; there was an issue with the title Byzantinism and the Russian Orthodox religion and another debating the problem of writing the history of contemporary Transylvanian literature. Closely related to thematic issues are those presenting other literary reviews like Élet és Irodalom, Holmi, Irodalmi Újság, Magyar Lettre, Nappali Ház and Pompeji. The most recent undertaking is presenting the literature of some metropolises of the world: Berlinlátó was the first, followed by Bécslátó edited by Deréky Pál, Vienna. (The title of the review, Látó is Visionary in English).
     Látó frequently organizes literary matinées, presenting authors as well as literary societies and other reviews.
     Látó is funded partly by the Romanian Writers' Guild and the Maros County Council, but, like all other publications, mostly lives on other sources of help. It has twice been honoured with the Hungarian Free Press Foundation's Award and boasts the exclusive Zuboly Award of Centrál Café, Budapest.
